Jan berry Anthology

[1Jay1]

According to the Book by mark passmore Lou Adler gave jan the originals to his songs from the 70s,which does include Alternate versions of his songs and also unreleased songs,I wonder if Natural High is on the list and flight No9,

Theses songs were gonna be Remastered and have the tapes cleaned and have them released on the  jan berry Anthology Album,i wonder if lou adler will now clean these tapes up and get them released for a future Jan berry release

I would say for sure if this was released that all these songs would be on there,maybe in this order of the year or recorded/released

 The best love ever *
 
* is songs recorded in 1980s

Bonus tracks
Fun city,Ocean park angel (jan and dean single in 1970s)

cd2
Plus Alternate version and Unreleased songs,
Diane on my mind,your sweet sweet love, two very similar songs but would love to hear a version with words,An acoustic version of hot looking lady called hot cookie,rare stuff of jans work

Cover design by dean,and Lou adler to do the notes and a brief inside about the songs jan recorded during this time,

The only reason i didn t add any second wave songs on this list is that its been released as a cd already and the fans would wanna hear something new,plus some songs have different mixes on second wave,

Plz feel free to add extra tracks to this remember the bonus on cd1 are jan and dean the rest is jan berry and lets have some fun and hope a major label reads this post,

As an anthology it would have to be a 2 cd package,i would love to hear the unreased track which lou adler mentions

Now i wonder if this would ever happen

So, are there any plans to compile an official Jan Berry Anthology? If the Berry family owns the masters (as I presume they do if Lou Adler gave them to Jan) then I presume there are no legal obstacles.

Last year's K-Tel disc had (shall we say) variable sound quality-  and for some reason missed out Mother Earth. So I am not really counting that, even though it was good to finally have the on it tracks available. There were some I hadn't heard before (including the different arrangement of Ocean Park Angel).

Perhaps I should have posted this in the other thread about what we would like to see released next

[1Jay1]

I m trying to contact ken berry to find out if theres anything the berry family know of a jan berry anthology,i ve trid contacting lou adler but not having much luck,

I was hoping the record label of jans second wave would buy the tapes and give this album a release,unless A & M release it,i m not 100% sure but i think A & M may have been sold,

lets hop one of the record labels i e "sundazed" or "one way" or one of the labels which have released cd in the 1990-present

If anyone can help me with contacting Lou or the Berry family you can email me privately via this board,

This would be an amazing release and is about time. It would stand well alongside the Dean Torrence Anthology. And would finally be a recognition of Jan's hard work after the accident.

[owen]

Assuming that this ever happens, it would be neat if the Jan Anthology stood alongside Dean's graphically as well.

Which it could, because Dean reused and retouched part of the Norman Seef photo originally used on Silver Summer for the front of his cd. So he could reuse and retouch the other half of the photo for Jan's cd cover.

Or maybe he was thinking ahead when he designed the cover of his Anthology cd, and this was his intention all along

[1Jay1]

wouldn t it be great if cdbaby could release this in the future,

[Oldiesmusicfan1]

It would  be a great  CD.

[1Jay1]

I see another post about getting second wave reissued on another label,Second wave has already been released,and the fans of jan and dean/jan berry can get there hands on a copy,wouldn t it be a great if This web site could push for a Jan berry Anthology Cd to be released keeping his name alive and also material which should be released years ago as an Album,cd package,with a booklet,

I love the Idea of using the other half of the photo to dean Anthology cd,that would be so cool if this would happen,

[1Jay1]

Have you any thought of doing an article in your magazine about a future jan berry release of his solo material,or have any way of asking Lou adler about  releasing this,I m sure with your contacts you would have more chance of making contact with him then many of us on this board,I m sure he would have more knowledge of who owns the right to the material,i m only going on by the book by mark passmore in which it states that he owns the material,

[1Jay1]

Love the idea of using the photo of jan from the silver summer album,would be great to have the other side of deans photo,

Also would be great to add the tiffanys live album to this package,

I m sure theres people on here who could do a photo in the same style of deans and add it to this web site,and with a title and put along side deans front cover,how cool would that be,also give a future record company an idea

[sweetdudejim]

How how i love her 1978(not the second wave version)

There is a version of "How-How I Love Her" on Second Wave? I'm pretty sure there's not.

[Kann]

Wondering if there are any plans yet to make a Jan Berry Anthology yet? That would be awesome! We have one of dean why not Jan!

[1Jay1]

this is a post I done a few years ago, I love these tracks to be released as Jans Anthology,
Just thought as Its time now for a release

[surferbee]

It is sad that nothing has happened. A Jan anthology could include some great songs - maybe an outtake or two and some backing tracks.

I posted elsewhere that given the success of the Liberty singles album it would be great if we could have a 'best of the rest' album drawing on some of the best album cuts (using original masters.)

Of course, the ultimate would be a Jan and Dean box set - I've been asking for years. I don't know who owns everything but it would be a great boost to Jan and Dean's legacy.

[1Jay1]

According to dean There's nothing planned of a box set, I ve also been asking for years for this, Also I d love to see Jans  photo on the silver summer lp, on Jan front cover ,
